No one today should be taught badly, right?

Everyone should be taught, by the way, also on an individual basis, on a personalized basis.

And if you look at, if you look, take what, because we work with them, what Sal Khan's doing, for example, with the Khan Academy, and there are other people doing great things in education using technology.

We should be able to create a situation

in which young people today are able to learn at the pace that is good for them.

And no young person should be without opportunity.

But how you reform the system to allow that to happen, that's the big challenge.

But in time, and like with the healthcare system, you will end up with an AI doctor, you'll end up with an AI tutor.

The question will be, what's the framework within which those things operate?

And how do we use them to allow...

a better service and probably to allow a lot of the people within the healthcare or education systems concentrate on the most important part of their learning rather than, for example, if you're a doctor having to write up a whole lot of notes after a consultation or do lesson planning if you're a teacher.

It happens usually for two reasons.

Number one, it's really hard to make change.

You know, what I learned about

making change is that there's a certain rhythm to it.

When you first propose a reform, people tell you it's a terrible idea.

When you're doing it, it's absolute hell.

And after you've done it, you wish you'd done more of it.

So sometimes people just find the system too resistant.

There might be vested interests.
